Genesis 11
1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
So it came to pass that, all the earth, was of one manner of speech, —and of one stock of words.
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
And it came to pass as they brake away onwards, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
Then said they, each man to his friend, Come on! let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly, —So the bricks, served them for stone, and bitumen, served them for mortar,
4 Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
And they said Come on! let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower with its head in the heavens, so let us make for ourselves a name, —lest we be scattered abroad over the face of all the earth.
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
And Yahweh came down, to behold the city, and the tower, —which the sons of men had built.
6 And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do.
Then said Yahweh: Lo! one people and one manner of speech, have they all, this, then is what they have begun to do, —now, therefore, nothing will be withholden from them which they may plan to do.
7 Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
Come on! let us go down, and there confuse their speech, —that they may not understand, each man the speech of his friend.
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
So Yahweh scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth, —and so they left off building the city.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth.
For this cause, was the name thereof called Babel ["Confusion"]; because there, did Yahweh confuse the speech of all the earth, —and, from thence, did Yahweh scatter them abroad, over the face of all the earth.
